Saturday’s Braves-Padres game rained out, doubleheader scheduled for Monday (UPDATE)

After nearly two hours of delay, Saturday’s game between the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres played out in the rain. The game was rescheduled for Monday as part of a split doubleheader.

The first match will begin on Monday at 12:20 p.m. ET as usually scheduled. The teams will play again starting at 6:20 p.m. ET. The Braves will have to travel to Chicago after the game to begin a road trip.

Bryce Elder, who was scheduled to start Saturday’s game, will be moved back a day and will start Sunday’s game. Yu Darvish will start Sunday’s game for the Padres.

Dylan Cease will start one of Monday’s games for San Diego. Joe Musgrove would be a candidate to play the other match. The Braves haven’t announced their plans for Monday but they could go with Reynaldo Lopez and Chris Sale. Another option would be to call up someone from Gwinnett to make one of those starts as the 27th man for the doubleheader.

UPDATE – It will be Reynaldo Lopez and Chris Sale in Monday’s doubleheader.
